The Riverside Tower Hotel, life in Woody's world

Feel like a character in a Woody Allen film while watching the sunset on the Hudson.

If you love nature, art, and walks along the waterfront, this two-star hotel on the Upper West Side of Manhattan holds many advantages. Some of its 120 rooms open their windows onto the Hudson, just like in the many Woody Allen films shot in this neighbourhood. Go for a late afternoon jog in the lovely Riverside Park, just steps away — the sunsets over the river are glorious. A few more strides take you to the wonderful footpaths of Central Park, or jump on the 79th Street Station subway, which will take you in 20 short minutes to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim. After that, the only thing left to do is fall into the hotel's spectacularly comfortable bed.
